Professional excellence requires dedication and responsibility, and is something that the best continuously strive to achieve. In order to maximize potential, it is therefore essential that professional development is seen as an ongoing process. We should always be looking for ways to improve our skills, abilities, and base of knowledge as a means to maximize performance. Loss prevention certification is a means of establishing and validating that standard of excellence.
The Loss Prevention Foundation celebrates the Certified LP professional
Erik Robles, LPC – Market Asset Protection Manager – Stage Stores. LP Professional and former Law Enforcement experience.
“The LPCertified (LPC) course work is intense, very well put together, and will expand your current LP/AP knowledge. It is a great certification to have and trust me when I say that people in our field will know your dedication and commitment to your personal development after gaining this certification. However, do not underestimate this coursework and exam as it is quite difficult. If it was easy, then everyone in our field would have it!”
Brandi Priest, LPC – CEO/Founder of Strategic Sustainable Solutionary Services Consulting – 4SC. Ms. Priest has 26 years experience.
“The curriculum developed for the LPC certification is unmatched in the industry in my opinion; being intensely thorough from many perspectives. It’s a comprehensive look at loss prevention from all business areas; a very unique examination for any loss prevention professional. I absolutely value the Certification as it demonstrates my career/expertise investment, my credibility and reputation to prospective clients. My industry peers tend to be very focused on continuing development and attributes. It’s a character I pride myself on and honor in others.”
